The high pressure in the Great Basin forces it way toward the lower pressure on the coast usually during the winter months. As the air sinks, it heats up, loses moisture, and increases in speed as it forces its way through the canyons. So, hot intense winds are the result. This also contributes to the forest fires in the area.
The Santa Ana Winds originate from cool and dry air pressure mass in Great Britain and are therefore dry winds that affect South California and parts of North California.
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
Santa Ana Winds bring hot and dry weather during autumn. These winds also create relative low humidity in Southern California.
When these low humidity conditions combine with warm air and high wind speeds are known to create critical fire weather conditions.
These winds are also called devil winds because they often give rise to regional wildfires.
Economic geography is the study of the location, distribution and spatial organization of economic activities across the world. It represents a traditional subfield of the discipline of geography. However, many economists have also approached the field in ways more typical of the discipline of economics
<span>Base from the graph the number
of degrees of longitude that separate new York and reno Nevada is 120 – 75 = 45
degrees of longitude. The time difference can be calculated by dividing it by
15 degree because for every 15 degrees there is 1 hr difference. 45 / 15 = 3 hr
difference</span>
